Chapter 168 Champions League Qualification (First Guaranteed)

Naples lost to 1:3 away, and the Spanish media called Raul aggrieved over there. It's not worth it to say, what to go to Naples, it turned out to be better now, even the Champions League did not have to play. I knew it would be better to go to Schalke 04. They were also the runner-up in the Bundesliga last season. They are eligible to directly participate in the Champions League, and there is no need to play in the qualifying rounds.

The Spaniard’s complaints did not reach the ears of the Naples. At this time, Mazzari was boosting the morale of the team, asking the team to cheer up and fight back.

"If we hit third in the Bundesliga last season in the qualifying rounds, it would be bad, right? No, not at all. Because our luck in Naples is just **** good! Believe me, guys, even this time we break After the qualifying round, we won’t take advantage of the group draw. So don’t take a chance, think that entering the Champions League main match will be able to export your breath. You can win the Champions League qualifiers just by playing it. Don’t There is such a fluke, because our opponent..."

Before he finished speaking this time, he was yelled at by the players: "UEFA!!!"

Raul was secretly surprised when he heard this shocking answer in the team. I thought that all the media speculations turned out to be true. This is really a team that Platini hates...

"Very good, you know it. So in fact, our Champions League match in Naples started with Werder Bremen, guys. Everyone has to come up with 200% form. It can be guaranteed that we can make it to the knockouts all the way!"

Why does Mazzari say he made it to the knockout rounds instead of talking about the semi-finals? It is definitely not because Mazzari is more realistic and sensible, and Naples has self-knowledge, but because as long as he enters the knockout round, Chen Yingxiong will be able to lift the ban and return. At that time, the combat effectiveness of Naples will directly increase by an order of magnitude-this is not an exaggeration. Look at the terrifying vitality of Chen Yingxiong in the Champions League last season.

Therefore, all current tactics and strategies of Naples in the Champions League are based on the goal of "returning hero Chen".

Everyone knows a little bit well, and no one disagrees.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Champions League group stage and the knockout stage are completely two different events...

"I still can’t forget the game we played against Barcelona at home, and I believe you can’t forget either. If you still want revenge, if you want to draw someone in the face in person, you have to kill me. Knockout!"

Taking Barcelona and Platini as the target of revenge is very effective, because everyone in Naples still remembers the unforgettable hatred on their home court last season, and that scene is still in the minds of Naples people, whether it is The players are still fans, and no one has forgotten.

This can be called "unshared".

But Raul listened next to him, feeling full of emotion in his heart. As a Real Madrid player, his hostility towards Barcelona is natural. But in recent years, due to Barcelona's strength, Real Madrid players will appear to be lacking in confidence after seeing Barcelona, ​​and they may even take the initiative to ask for mercy. For example, the claim that "Barcelona is indeed stronger than Real Madrid today, I am telling the truth", this is indeed the truth, but it is too inappropriate to say it as a Real Madrid player.

But I didn’t expect that in Naples, southern Italy, there is a group of people who hate Barcelona no less than their Real Madrid, and even more hatred of Barcelona than some of Real Madrid’s players today...

Before the match between Naples and Werder Bremen at home, Chinese media interviewed Chen Yingxiong. The reporter wanted to flatter himself, hoping to make an interview with Chen Yingxiong in private.

He said: "Your absence put Naples into a tough away game. Now it is a problem even to enter the Champions League. Does this explain your important position in the team..."

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong gave him an angry look: "I believe that even without me, Naples would have the ability to enter the Champions League and make it to the knockouts!"

He was right. Naples, who was forced to go to a dead end and exploded with great fighting power, came to a Jedi counterattack and returned the same score of Werder Bremen at home-3:1.

The total score of the two sides was tied, and the number of away goals was exactly the same, with 30 minutes of overtime. As a result, neither side has achieved anything in 30 minutes, as long as the penalty is decided.

After five rounds of intense draws, Naples defeated Werder Bremen 3-2 in the penalty shoot-out and entered the Champions League main match.

All the Naples fans were relieved.

Chen Yingxiong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He is really afraid that the team will be eliminated in the qualifying round, so I don’t know how many voices criticizing him at the beginning of the championship, saying that he only cared about his own fire, but pushed the whole team into a disadvantage. The culprit was eliminated in the Naples qualifier.

Mazzari was actually right. It is impossible for Naples to be unable to play without Chen Yingxiong. But people are always accustomed to finding scapegoats. Who cares about them at this time?

After Chen Yingxiong breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that it was not over yet. If the team was eliminated in the group stage, the same voice would definitely appear, except that the "qualifier" was replaced by the "group stage". "That's it.

But now, no matter what, it's always in the race. As long as you enter the main match, you have the opportunity to advance to the knockout round. At that time, he will be back.

He can laugh three times: "I, Hu Hansan, is back again!" Then he vented all the fire that had been holding his stomach, and the gods blocked and killed the gods, and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha!

After all the qualifying rounds are over, the list of 32 teams participating in the Champions League group stage is also released.

There are four Italian Serie A teams, namely Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma and Naples. It was said that this season’s UEFA Champions League qualifications may have to be reduced to three. Fortunately, Inter Milan won the UEFA Champions League and earned enough European War points for the Serie A. Therefore, Serie A still has four UEFA Champions League qualifications this season. Otherwise, Naples would not even be eligible to participate in the qualifying rounds...

The Bundesliga has only two teams Bayern Munich and Schalke 04.

The Premier League also has four places: Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

Representing France are Lyon, Auxerre and Marseille.

There are three teams participating in La Liga, namely Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Valencia.

Other teams include: Twente and Ajax of the Netherlands, Kazan Ruby and Mosques Bada of Russia, Benfica and Braga of Portugal, Tel Aviv Workers of Israel, Bursa Sports from Turkey, Glasgow of Scotland Rangers, Panathinaikos of Greece, Copenhagen of Denmark, Basel of Switzerland, Cluj of Romania, Srina of Slovakia, Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine, and Partizan of Belgrade from the Serbian League.

These thirty-two teams are divided into four different levels according to their European war points over the years. The first level is the seeded team, including Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern, AC Milan and Lyon.

The second-tier teams include Ajax, Real Madrid, Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica, Valencia, Marseille, Panathinaikos.

The third-tier teams are Tottenham, Glasgow Rangers, Partizan Belgrade, Schalke 04, Basel, Braga, Copenhagen, and Sparta Moscow.

The fourth-tier teams are Tel Aviv Workers, Twente, Kazan Ruby, Auxerre, Cluj, Srina, Bursa Sports and Naples.

Although Napoli’s performance in the Champions League last season was amazing and was considered the biggest dark horse in the Champions League that season, they suffered too little in the European Championship. Last season was the first time to participate in the Champions League in 18 years. He was eliminated from the UEFA Cup group stage last season. After so many years of experience in these two European wars, there is really no points. So this time, Naples was classified into the fourth grade.

And this classification means... Naples has great hopes of being classified into the group of death!

Naples, without the hero of Chen, is again classified as the group of death, waiting for their destiny, this does not need to be explained anymore, right?

Mazzari feels that for Platini, this is simply the fat on his lips. It is an excellent opportunity to be delivered to the door. It is like a kick in the face of an empty door. Can he not? Will he give up? This is so logical, reasonable, and impeccable... If he doesn't want him, he will be a second fool!

But he couldn't worry about what Platini might do during the lottery.

Because the first round of the Italian Football League 2010-2011 is imminent.

On August 29th, Naples will go away to challenge their first-round opponent Fiorentina.

However, Chen Yingxiong is likely to be absent in this game, because he can't train well before the game, and can't even follow the team to the away game.

On the morning of August 27th, he flew to Monaco with the manager of the team, Bigang.

There, there is the European Super Cup for the new season, with UEFA Champions Inter Milan playing UEFA Cup champions Atletico Madrid.

However, Chen Yingxiong did not go to Monaco this time to watch the game. He is going to participate in UEFA's various awards in Monaco last season in the European War. At the same time, he participated in the group drawing ceremony of the Champions League for the new season with Bigan.

But Chen Yingxiong didn't think he was going to accept the award. On the way to Monaco by plane with Bigang, he joked to the club manager sitting next to him.

"I went to smoke someone's face."
